Hi Jean,

I’ve thought of pulling together a GNU Radio card, so maybe I should get on with it. Watch this space!!

Thanks for the idea,

In reply to W8ISM. W8ism,just thought I’d tell you ,I googled NanoVNA-Saver release,on web page I selected top search option which took me to a github page ,scroll down page to latest releases you will see latest raspberry pi version approx 107mb ,download file to wherever you use,it’s an execute file I had to change my execute permissions,right click exe file then properties and allow yourself to open exe files ,then double left click on file ,after a wee while NanoVNA WILL SHOW ON SCREEN,mine works a treat on my Raspberry Pi 400,totally stoked I am,and no Terminal code to deal with ,Dave 2E0DTB 73 take a look Mike G4WNC

Hi Lee,
It’s a perfectly reasonable question 🙂

The software will automatically recognise the internal soundcard in your FT-991, so there’s no need for another card.

Hi being a bit silly here, do I require a sound card if the radio has one built in, eg ft-991a can i just connect the pi via usb lead and your software and it should work ?

Hi Chuck,

I’m sure you’re correct but I haven’t reviewed this post for a long time. When I get a spare moment, I’ll check the instructions on a Pi 5 and update the installation steps.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for letting me know. That resource seems to have disappeared, which is a shame. I’ll leave my template in case it’s useful but delete the link.

Mike

Thanks.
My Raspberry PI5 now sets time from GPS.
Great tutorial.
One note though
I did not include these two items, python-gps chrony python-gi-cairo, since they don’t seem to exist for PI5. Other than that, the tutorial is spot on. Worked first time!
Thanks for a painless afternoon.
